Is there a chart anywhere that list output power or the signal strength of
KU satellites? Im trying to setup a large offset dish with multiple lnbs & need to know what the relitive signal strength of some would be for the east coast area.

You can look up the power of various sats, but uplinkers sometimes try to minimize power usage, so that doesn't always mean much relative to what you can expect to see. Your best comparison is to go to Lyngsat, and along the right side of each satellite chart there is a beam column. Most transponders there give a link to a map of eirp values that should give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect for reception.

Thanks for the reply, im kinda new to fta ans was looking for some of the
stronger fta sats. I figure it would be easier to find the strong ones first & i will give lynsat a look. Ive used their site many times but didnt notice
that feature.
I just figured out today, how to see satellite footprints on Lyngsat website:
the rightmost column in the tables for frequencies, says either "ConUS" or
beam direction, like "Americas". If it's a link, it will bring you the footprint map.
Whatever is with number 48 and up for your area, is a good signal. Sadoun site has a table of these numbers "EIRP values vs. Dish Size"
Linear Mode
